Yang Jianâs face looked grim right now, his body soaked and seeming to gradually dissolve.
Just thirty seconds of a large-scale restart was enough for the supernatural energy of the Ghost Lake to feel entirely off balance, rapidly corroding himself. However, without utilizing the supernatural power of the Ghost Lake, it wouldnât work, as otherwise, during the Ghost Eye Resurrection, he would die immediately on the spot from the ghostâs resurrection.
Even though Yang Jian was now an anomaly.
But the premise of this anomaly was that the ghost Yang Jian controlled was only the Ghost Shadow.
The other ghosts were not inactive; they still had a chance of resurrection.
Some supernatural phenomena could be suppressed by the Ghost Shadow, like the Ghost Hand or the Eight-Tone Music Box curse, which is why these supernatural occurrences would not harm Yang Jian.
However, some supernatural happenings couldnât be suppressed by the Ghost Shadow, like the Ghost Eye, the supernatural presence of the Ghost Lake, and the Evil Hound lodged in his memory.
If Yang Jian didnât want to abandon these supernatural elements, he had to think of other ways to limit and combat them.
At that moment.
A small flame ignited in the dim corridor.
Tong Qian lit a red Ghost Candle, the eerie green flame flickering, filled with an eerie atmosphere.
Yet beneath this light, he felt a sense of security.
Before the candle flame went out, he wouldnât be killed by any malicious ghost.
This was the effect of the Ghost Candle.
At least so far, there hadnât been any instances where it failed.
âJust passing a door required lighting a Ghost Candle. What exactly is behind that door?â
Tong Qian felt an inexplicable tension and glanced at the open-room door ahead.
The room had no lights, it was pitch black, and he couldnât see anything.
However, he did not question Yang Jianâs decision; instead, he promptly raised the Ghost Candle and quickly ran forward.
Tong Qian tried to rush through the room as fast as possible.
Soon.
As he passed by the roomâs doorway.
The previous incident happened once again.
Without any warning or sound, a dead bone flew out of the pitch-black room, directly aiming at Tong Qian.
Tong Qian was prepared, deeply concerned about any movement coming from that room, and at that moment he dodged without hesitation.
The flying dead bone seemed as if something casually threw it, not very fast, so he instinctively halted his steps and took a step back, directly avoiding the flying bone.
But in mid-air, the dead bone suddenly defied logic, turned at an unreasonable angle, and once again flew towards Tong Qian.
âSo thatâs how it is.â Tong Qianâs heart sank, quickly crouching down.
He hadnât forgotten how Li Yang was almost hit like this before.
Though he didnât know what would happen if struck, anything involving the supernatural could be deadly, even a small danger.
However, Tong Qian didnât avoid the flying dead bone by bending over.
As the bone was about to pass over his head, it suddenly lost momentum and dropped,
Right on target, about to fall on him.
But, Tong Qian was holding the Ghost Candle, which was still burning.
Suddenly.
The eerie green Ghost Flame was as if stimulated like cold water being poured into hot oil, and the flames instantly expanded, blazing brightly.
The sudden intense burning of the candle flame resulted in huge consumption.
A normal Ghost Candle in this moment was vanishing at an unbelievable speed in his hand.
âThud!â
Everything came too quickly and disappeared just as swiftly.
With the sound of the bone hitting the ground echoing, that Ghost Candle in Tong Qianâs hand had vanished, burnt away instantly, while the bone hadnât hit him.
âA whole Ghost Candle being burned to nothing in an instant, just how terrifying is this thingâŠâ Tong Qian was horrified.
He was well aware that under normal circumstances, a Ghost Candle could burn for at least half an hour, but powerful ghosts would accelerate the burning, shortening the useable time.
Moreover, the intense burning of the Ghost Candle also indicated the ghostâs terrifying level.
But todayâs situation was something Tong Qian had never encountered before, and not even Yang Jian had seen this.
He knew that even a Firewood Knife, which could dismember ghosts with one chop, was not enough to burn out a Ghost Candle, only consuming about ninety percent.
âWhat are you standing there for, move away further from that room.â Yang Jian said.
Tong Qian snapped out of his daze at once with a shiver from the shout.
Without a word, he hurriedly ran forward, escaping from the pitch-black room.
Once he had distanced himself sufficiently, he let out a slight sigh of relief and wasnât attacked a second time, though reflecting on the earlier incident still left him with a lingering fear.
âHas the ghost in that room become this vicious?â
Li Yang had also seen the incident just now and was quite astonished.
A small piece of dead bone, when thrown, could cause an entire Ghost Candle to burn out instantly.
Then Li Yang glanced at that piece of dead bone not far from him.
If it werenât for the captainâs help in blocking it just now, he wouldâve been hit.
Once hit, based on the intense burning of the Ghost Candle earlier, it would certainly be deadly.
âSurviving wasnât as simple as the captain helping block it; if that were the case, the captainâs condition wouldnât have worsened so markedly in an instant⊠a significant price was surely paid.â
âWhat seemed like a simple block possibly bore considerable supernatural risk.â
Li Yang, through observing Yang Jianâs state, speculated to some extent.
But he didnât know Yang Jian had the Eight Layer Ghost Domain, capable of large-range resets.
He didnât expect Yang Jian to activate the Eight Layer Ghost Domain proactively to reverse life and death and pull him back.
Yang Jian said nothing, as though nothing happened, he continued cold-faced, âIf thereâs nothing more, letâs keep moving, room 100 is just ahead, and the final step cannot have any mishaps, resources in hand should be used, no need to save.â
He never underestimated the dangers of this place.
The seemingly trifling supernatural attack earlier turned out to be astonishingly terrifying, something he hadnât considered.
Taking a deep look at that room again, Yang Jian withdrew his gaze, recording the perilous room number 104 in his mind.
This was much fiercer than the earlier encounter with room 88.
Though such an attack could be dodged, you couldnât bear the consequence of being hit.
If one couldnât reset, even a Captain-Level ghost handler might perish here.
Fortunately, despite some costs, everything turned out alright, and Yang Jian considered it worthwhile.
Soon.
The three of them passed the last room and came to the doorstep of room 100.
This roomâs door was also open, and inside, the light was on, which was quite normal without flickering.
